Product details

Thermal derating and enclosure integration

The 250 A rating holds flat from 40 °C through 50 °C, then derates to 241 A at 55 °C and 213 A at 70 °C. In a sealed panel with limited airflow, the 70 °C ceiling means the breaker must be loaded to 213 A or less to stay within the thermal curve. Power dissipation peaks at 50.5 W — account for that heat in the enclosure's thermal budget.

Trip unit and auxiliary configuration

The ETU320 electronic trip unit provides LI (long-time and instantaneous) protection with adjustable settings. The breaker includes a mechanical trip indicator for visual fault confirmation. No communication function, phase failure detection, or ground fault monitoring is fitted on this variant.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for 3VA2225-8HL32-0CH0?

Submit an RFQ. The part is sourced to order through independent distribution; pricing and stock levels are confirmed at quote time.

What is the interrupting capacity of 3VA2225-8HL32-0CH0 at 415 V?

330 kA at 415 V, and 440 kA at 240 V. These are the maximum fault currents the breaker can safely interrupt at those voltages.

What trip unit does 3VA2225-8HL32-0CH0 use?

The ETU320 electronic trip unit provides LI protection (long-time and instantaneous) with adjustable settings.
